What are your favorite basses that you got for $700 or less?

[Marko 1]

My present giggers were all under $700. I doubt I'll ever pay more than that for a bass.


Fender MIM Jazz V (new)

Ibanez ATK305 (new, blowout/discontinued price)

Yamaha BB415 (used)

Squier VM P-5 (new)

MTD CRB5 . Best 5 string pbass I've ever played. Came with EMG preamp. I purchased it used for $300 shipped. Plays sounds and feels like it should cost 5-6 times as much .

These 5 basses were all under $700 including mods.

• Funk Master Custom Bass (upgraded with Aguilar AG-4J-HC pickups and a John East Retro Pre-amp)
• Carrigan Designs Short Scale Bass (Upgraded with Kent Armstrong Pickups)
• SX Jazz 5 (Ugraded with Bartolini Pickups and Bartolini Pre-amp)
• US Fender Standard Hand Stained P-Bass ($695)
• Japanese Fender P-Bass Lyte

Each one is gig/studio ready and every session player that has played them was in love with the tone and feel!

My Epiphone Jack Casady.. Great value for a really excellent bass.

My Epiphone Jack Casady.. Great value for a really excellent bass.

Seconded. Lightweight and great sound, especially when recording direct. It's like a P-bass with a little more air and bite. Looks great, too - especially with the pickguard off.
